Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jeremy Lin finished with 29 points (12-22 FG, 3-5 3FG), eight assists, six rebounds, & two steals and James Harden scored 16 of his career-high 46 points in the fourth quarter, as the Rockets overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to knock off the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-119 on Wednesday at Toyota Center. Overall, it marked Lin’s ninth 20-plus point performance of 2012-13. Lin has shot 48.3 percent (56-for-116) from 3-point range over his last 11 games. Wednesday was Houston’s ninth double-digit comeback win this season.

On the Rockets effort, Lin stated “We fought really hard tonight and we didn’t know what to expect. It was an emotional night for all of us. I am just proud of the effort from the entire team and I am just thankful to God that we were able to pull out this win.” As for James Harden’s night, Jeremy Lin said “If he is not up for MVP consideration, I mean, I don’t know what else he needs to do. 46 points on 19 shots. I mean, he made every single big play down the stretch and even the shots that I was able to have, they were created because of him. Man, he played phenomenal tonight.”

Looks like things are coming together for the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets also rearranged their team mid season with two trades that will send Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas to the Sacramento Kings and Marcus Morris to the Phoenix Suns.

Kicking of the Lunar New Year, Houston Rockets Jeremy Lin launched some fireworks of his own on the court against the Sacramento Kings. In one continuous play, he blocked Aaron Brooks got the rebound and went coast to coast for a posterizing dunk on the other end over Francisco Garcia. He showed both his defensive and offensive basketball skills on the floor. The play made the top 3 plays of the night in the NBA.

A few days ago marked the one year anniversary of Linsanity. With the documentary Linsanity about to make the festival circuit, Jeremy Lin marked the milestone by shooting out the lights against his former team the Golden State Warriors. He scored a game high 28 points and dished out 9 assists to drop the Warriors in Houston. He hand the hot hands making 10 of 16 shots and 5 of 8 from three point land. His five 3-pointers was a career high. He wasn’t the only Houston Rocket draining threes. Fellow teammates Chandler Parsons and James Harden each hit four 3 pointers. In the end, the Rockets matched an NBA record with 23 3-pointers (57.5% shooting) in the 140-109 win over the Warriors. The Rockets set season highs for first-quarter and first-half points.

After the game Lin was asked about his recent hot shooting from beyond the arc, he stated, “I’ve been feeling a lot better. I got off to a really slow start and it was frustrating because I’d been working on it all summer but hopefully I’ll be able to turn the corner and shoot the way that I’m capable of shooting it.” On the rest of the Rockets team’s three point performance, Lin said “Sometimes that’s the way it goes. Thankfully we were able to get a bunch of open looks and knock them down tonight and that’s just the way it is sometimes. We are comfortable playing at home.”

Looks like Jeremy Lin and the Rockets are gelling more together at the midpoint of the season. With a performances like last night, you see the Houston Rockets climbing up the West Conference of the NBA.

Also of note Yao Ming in attendance during the Rockets vs Warriors game. You won’t have to wait long for a rematch. The two teams play again next week in the San Francisco Bay Area.
